March is Workplace Eye Wellness month. That may bring thoughts of computers, screens, and blue light to mind, but the word “workplace” can mean different things to different people. A recent shift to more gig economy jobs – or the kind of short-term, contracted, “be your own boss” jobs that are ticking up gradually – means the workplace can be anywhere. Even in your car.

​​SunSync Drive XT lenses are perfect for lots of different jobs in today’s economy. If any of your patients work in one of the following fields, you’ll want to educate them about how these lenses could change the way they approach their personal eye care.

If you’ve had patients come to you asking for a photochromic that works in the car, you can tell them that SunSync Light-Reactive Lenses now has an option for them.

2. Couriers​This job involves going in and out of doors all day long: get out of the car, go in the building, leave the building, get back in the car. Repeat 20 times. You start to see how frustrating it would be to switch between glasses and sunglasses so many times throughout the day.

What an opportunity to offer SunSync Drive XT! Not only is it clear when it matters and dark when it counts…even in the car, but it also carries all the benefits of the SunSync light-reactive lens family-- like UV protection and blue light filtration.

1 in 3 American adults experience symptoms of UV exposure.* These can be short-term effects, like bloodshot, swollen eyes, or a hyper-sensitivity to light. But UV exposure can also lead to more serious long-term effects like cancer. SunSync Drive XT lenses protect eyes from UV light, no matter the environment.​And remember: SunSync Drive XT fades back to clear faster than the category leader, a great focal point when discussing lens options with someone who goes in and out of buildings all day. ​

3. RealtorsRealtors will tell you that they have the potential to spend an entire day in a car. Meeting clients and showing houses all over town can mean a lot of getting in and out of the car all day long. A pair of photochromic lenses that works behind the wheel would be perfect for a realtor who is facing down a full day of appointments.

And not only do SunSync Drive XT lenses give you and your patients a choice in an extra-active photochromic, they actually offer a better option. These extra-active photochromic lenses are darker, clearer, and faster than the category leader, so your patients are sure to get the best performance.

The workplace is evolving; make sure your eye care options evolve with it. Learn more about SunSync Drive XT here.

Just picked-up my second pair of Synsync Driver XT glasses with gray lenses; the first pair of lenses were brown colored lenses. I returned the first pair because although they work as advertised outside the vehicle they, despite the advertising hype, DO NOT STAY DARK BEHIND THE WHEEL. I returned them to my optician who called their lab and confirmed that they were sent frames with the Driver XT lenes.
My optician's office sent the first pair back and ordered gray lenses because the lab told them they were having mixed luck with the brown lenses.
Just picked-up the new glasses with the Sunsync Driver XT lenses in the gray color. These worked exactly like the first pair---they DO NOT STAY DARK BEHIND THE WHEEL.
The only way these glasses would stay dark is if I drove a convertible with the top down.
I bought these glasses based on the advertising because in the '70's I tried a pair of glasses with Transition lenses and they never seemed to get dark enough and never seemed to get clear enough inside my office or home. So 45 years have passed and I do not see much of an improvement.
What sold me was the ad stating they stay dark inside the car; that is pure fantasy and anybody who tells you otherwise is, to put it plainly, full of it, sorry.
Sincerely,
Frank H
